The Signet 2551 Magmeter is an insertion style standard, Valox optional
magnetic flow sensor that features no moving parts.
The patented* sensor design is available in corrosion- • 4 to 20 mA, digital (S3L), frequency,
resistant materials to provide long-term reliability with relay output (Display only)
minimal maintenance costs. Material options include
PP with stainless steel, PVDF with Hastelloy-C, or PVDF • No pressure drop
with Titanium. Utilizing the comprehensive line of Signet
installation fittings, sensor alignment and insertion depth • Corrosion resistant materials; PP or PVDF with SS,
is automatic. These versatile, simple-to-install sensors Hastelloy-C, or Titanium
deliver accurate flow measurement over a wide dynamic
range in pipe sizes ranging from DN15 to DN900 (½ to • Multi-language display menu available
36 inches), satisfying the requirements of many diverse
applications.

Signet 2551 Magmeters offer many output options

of frequency/digital (S3L) or 4 to 20 mA which are MEASURING EQUIPMENT

available on both the blind and display versions. The 77CJ

frequency or digital (S3L) sensor output can be used (3-2551-PX-XX

with Signet’s extensive line of flow instruments while version only)
the 4 to 20 mA output can be used for a direct input to
Applications
PLCs, chart recorders, etc. Both the 4 to 20 mA output
and digital (S3L) sensor interface is available for long • Chemical Processing
distance signal transmission. An additional benefit is the • Water and Wastewater Monitoring
empty pipe detection which features a zero flow output • Metal Recovery and Landfill Leachate
when the sensors are not completely wetted. Also, the • Commercial Pools, Spas, and Aquariums
frequency output is bi-directional while the 4 to 20 mA • HVAC
output can be set for uni- or bi-directional flow using the • Irrigation
display or the 3-0252 Configuration Tool which connects • Scrubber Control
to PCs for programming capabilities. • Neutralization Systems
• Industrial Water Distribution
In addition, the display version of the 2551 Magmeter
is available with relays and features permanent and
resettable totalizer values, which can be stored and seen
on the display. Also, the display contains multi-languages
with English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and
Portuguese menu options.
